Aftermath Of Recent Service Disruption
Users were unable to generate any responses on ChatGPT amid the ongoing outage. In addition, some of them can’t even login using their credentials. Hence, the users became furious and vented their frustration on X, with #ChatGPTDown to express their situation.
In addition, the recent outage was worldwide, attracting attention from ChatGPT users around the world. They also reported experiencing a “Bad Gateway Error” while trying to access the chatbot features. Moreover, ChatGPT provided outdated information in some cases.
However, it was also seen that the ChatGPT interface was working fine in the incognito mode for some users. They suggested that the current outage mostly affects logged in users. Hence, the ones who aren’t logged in or have tried accessing the services via Chrome’s incognito mode could witness improvement in the response time and efficiency.
Whilst, users demanded OpenAI to provide a timeline of the repairment of this issue. Nevertheless, the company hasn’t provided further updates on when the ChatGPT outage could be resolved. Given the history of service failures, the issue might take a few hours to be tackled by OpenAI.
